Default Sport Seat Air Pump and Control Question

I don't think mine is working. It is a 92 C4. When I push the button, I hear a click but really cant feel anything happening. Anyone have any insight as to how to check out this system? Should it make a noise of some kind if it is working?

Thanks.

You have to take out the bottom cushion enough so it will expose the pump...and if the bladder is shot...you will not feel anything.

I have seen the earlier design switches get stuck and the pump runs and gets so hot it melts and fails.

My guess is the pumps are shot. Are these parts available?

Come on...I KNOW you have heard of and used Google.

You need a wiring diagram and VERIFY that you have battery voltage going to where it needs to go BEFORE you go and BUY new pumps.
